One more wheel question...
Why are these so much cheaper than other wheelsets?
https://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-TRACK-ROAD-W...QQcmdZViewItem
How are these any better/worse than the wheelset that I posted about here:
https://wheelandsprocket.com/itemdeta...gId=39&id=7123
This purchase is killing me. I just want to get it right but don't have a solid enough knowledge regarding brand or wheel building. Please help!!

You should probably post this in SS/FG Forum - those guys may know more about the relative quality. But- those Vueltas look cheap with tires and cog included. Don't know how you could beat that for a beginning set of wheels. Formula is a good track/fix/ss name, too. You couldn't buy the hubs, rims, and spokes for the price of those built.

hello
The rims may be fine but the hubs are crap. Go with the Formula hubs. About a year ago I built a wheelset around Formula hubs. Nice set of hubs for the money......but I later found out you can buy a complete wheelset built around Formulas even cheaper.......you can't go wrong with the Formulas.
